Egypt's Former President Sentenced to Death
Former Egyptian President Mohammad Morsi has been sentenced to death.
His political party, the Muslim Brotherhood, is not half as “moderate” as its apologists claim. One of his last acts as president was appointing a member of Gamaa Islamiya, a terrorist organization responsible for murdering dozens of tourists in 1997, as the governor of Luxor—the very place where those tourists were massacred.
Few in the West liked or trusted him, and plenty of Egyptians who voted for him suffered spasms of buyer’s remorse, but he was nevertheless the first and only freely elected president in the entire history of Egypt.
And now he has been sentenced to death by a court controlled by the nation’s military strongman, General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
Sisi has declared total war on the Brotherhood. The man is not content to simply keep his opponents out of power. He won’t tolerate them as a non-violent dissident force. He can’t even tolerate the former president drawing breath in a dungeon.
This is Middle Eastern “strong horse” politics at its finest (or worst), but you know what? This sort of thing works until it doesn’t. Nothing’s stopping Sisi from going full Assad and creating a North African version of Syria’s Baath Party regime, but not even a total surveillance police state is enough to put down the armed Sunni Islamist insurrection in Syria, not even with Iran and Hezbollah on side.
It’s not hard to see where this is heading. Whatever’s left of the Muslim Brotherhood will almost certainly abandon its mostly non-violent strategy to transform Egypt into an Islamic utopia and take up rifles and car bombs.
If you’re planning a Nile River cruise or a trip to the pyramids, wait.
